Vince's anger nearly ignited the operating room.Looking at the torn clothes on Lydia's body, Vince's eyes swept like sharp knives over the doctors who were crouching and shivering on the floor."Who did this?"No one dared to answer him.Vince's voice got louder."I said, who did this?"One doctor's body shook so badly that he stammered. "I ...... I am sorry ......."Vince walked up to him and asked in a calm tone. "Which hand did you touch her with?"The iceberg-like aura around Vince's body frightened the doctor, and his body instantly prostrated even lower, trembling as he extended his right hand."Ah--" there was a scream, the doctor's face was pale, and cold sweat seeping from his forehead.Vince's foot was so hard that he stepped on the doctor's right hand."You should be glad you're our family's personal doctor, otherwise your hand would have left your body by now."Vince's foot rubbed hard on the doctor's hand a few times. The doctor gritted his teeth to keep himself from scr
Lydia was crying and Vince was there for her while he blamed himself.He reached out his hand several times and withdrew it.Vince tugged at his hair in frustration. He didn't dare touch Lydia again, fearing it would make her more emotional.Lydia's sobs gradually stopped. Her breathing became calm and almost inaudible.Relieved, Vince gently tucked her in and set the air conditioner to the right temperature.After all this, Vince sat down on the carpet and stared at Lydia in disbelief.Since reuniting with Lydia, Vince has spent every night staring at Lydia's sleeping face for a long time.A drunk Lydia ......A scared Lydia ......A sad Lydia ......A crying Lydia ......Countless Lydia's faces filled Vince's head, all eventually turning into a pale Lydia.The blood on the sheets left some faint marks in the darkness, showing what Vince had done tonight.Vince had done the unforgivable.He hurt Lydia, took her v.irginity in her grief and fear.Vince tilted his head back in some desp
The next day, Vince stands in front of Lydia's door for a while before going to work. He wasn't sure if Lydia was awake, but Lydia probably didn't want to see him.He left a note at the door.I have a meeting with Ulric today and may be home late, so you can do whatever you want to do. I'll be staying next door for the next few days, so please don't worry.Lydia actually woke up very early. She had been dreaming all night. In the dream she was floating on an endless sea. The sky was clear, the waves were clear, she was lazy and weak, and her consciousness was in a constant state of confusion.She didn't want to get up because she didn't know how to face Vince.Lydia couldn't help but hate him for taking her virginity away so violently on the basis of such a ridiculous rumor. But Lydia couldn't see him as an enemy. After all, Vince was her first love, and she still had feelings for him. If they had met like ordinary people at an ordinary party, it would have been a sweet love story. Bu
To better care for Lydia, Vince sends Vivian to stay with her at the villa.Vivian is a graduate of Yale University with a degree in public administration and one of the women with goals, competence and a clear mind. She joined Vince's company right after graduation, working hard and seeking advice. While other women stood by Vince's private elevator every day in exquisite makeup praying to meet him by chance, Vivian already understood that work was the only path to success for the average woman, and that wealth gained by seducing men was illusory.Vince noticed her and promoted her to PR manager, in charge of all of Vince's PR matters.Vivian quickly became a famous PR manager, always calm and professional, and Vince was a boss in her eyes, not a golden bachelor. Because of this, Vince trusted her to handle things about Lydia, such as buying clothes for Lydia at luxury stores and arranging Lydia's massages.Vivian never gossips about Lydia, she does her job in professional attire and
In the Rolls-Royce car, Lydia leaned back in her seat with her head resting on the window.The car was running smoothly, the shock absorption design made it almost impossible to feel any shaking. The street lights reflected in the car windows, flashing Lydia's face as the car moved.The colorful lights lit up Lydia's face, and then the darkness swallowed her expression again.Vince sat quietly next to her and did not disturb her.Lydia felt more comfortable than ever. Her hand still hurt from hitting Bernice's face so hard.So this is the feeling of fighting back. In the old days, grievance, sadness, and powerlessness wrapped around her like an invisible thick cloth, leaving her with a feeling of suffocation. Her parents didn't care about her, forcing her to be a woman that rich men would like: meek, obedient, and easy to control. No one told Lydia she could say no to injustice, and no one stood behind her to help her fight back against her bullies. Tolerance was her only recourse bef
A conference room with a baroque style.Thick velvet curtains blocked the light from the windows. A long table made of precious wood is in the middle of the room, and several wide and comfortable black boss chairs are placed on each side of the table.Frescoes, candelabras and other decorations make this room look even less like a modern room and more like the council chambers of aristocrats centuries ago.Soft lighting adds a touch of mystery and obscurity to the room. Two groups of senior bodyguards with sunglasses stood on either side of the room.In the middle of the room, there are some men sitting in the boss's chair with their faces hidden in the shadows of the light, making the atmosphere more elusive."I have always appreciated some of the principles of your mafia, such as keeping your promises and treating your partners well, and that is why I chose to work with you. But I don't know why you, as the new mafia leader, would break these rules. I think we need an explanation."
On the way to the hospital, Vince went about his business as usual, and even had a phone call with Vivian to handle some US work remotely. But when arriving at the hospital, Vince's body started to heat up and his will was a little unclear."How did this happen?" Ulric stood outside the emergency room with a frown and a serious expression.Cecil, meanwhile, paced back and forth in the hallway in a hurry. "If something bad had happened to Vince, I would have killed Derrick myself!"The incident today was indeed a surprise beyond their expectations. They had thought that the worst thing that could happen was a breakdown in negotiations, not realizing that the new mafia leader had abandoned the traditions that the mafia had upheld for years and started going rogue.Early in the morning, Cecil is just out at a cafe drinking coffee and flirting with a French beauty. He is not a shareholder in the business, so he has no intention of getting involved in the affair, nor does he want to expose
Lydia boarded a private plane arranged by Cecil in the early hours of the morning and finally arrived at Vince's hospital room just as the sun was rising.At the first sight of Vince, Lydia's heart skipped a beat from worry.Vince was lying in bed. His sleeping face was like an ancient Greek sculpture through time, calm and heavy. He was wearing these light gray pajamas, his lips were white and bloodless, adding a sense of brokenness to his cold face.He had various metal sensors strapped to his hands and arms, connected to different instruments through colorful tubes.In Lydia's memory, only those who were dying in the movie were connected to so many instruments."Why is this happening?" How is Vince doing?" Lydia tried desperately to control her trembling voice and turned to ask Cecil and Ulric.Cecil's attention was still on probing Lydia. He was very curious as to what kind of woman could make Vince go against the grain and turn from a love insulator to an infatuated man.Ulric ga
